Compounding
In addition to traditional medication, The Northgate Medicine Shoppe in Regina offers pharmaceutical compounding. Compounding is the creation of a medication to meet the unique needs of an individual patient (either human or animal) when a commercially available, manufactured drug does not meet those needs. A patient may not be able to tolerate the commercially available drug, the exact preparation needed may not be commercially available, or a patient may require a drug that is currently in shortage or discontinued. At our pharmacy, we continuously invest in specialized equipment and training to prepare both sterile and non-sterile medications based on a practitioner’s prescription.
